„Hues of Blue and Purple“

120cm x 100cm
Öl auf Leinwand

Die Werke der Serie Hues of Healing sind die ersten Bilder, die ich seit langer Zeit ohne den Einsatz von Schwarz geschaffen habe. Sie entstanden aus dem Wunsch heraus, Farbe wieder stärker zu spüren und zu nutzen, nachdem ich mich über Jahre hinweg vor allem der Schwarz-Weiß-Malerei gewidmet hatte. Die Liebe zu dieser reduzierten Ausdrucksform hat sich bei mir über viele Jahre entwickelt, weil sie mir Ruhe und Klarheit in einer oft reizüberfluteten Welt bietet.

An die Serie Hues of Healing bin ich mit derselben Haltung herangegangen, mit der ich auch der Arbeit mit Farbe begegne: nicht im Detail verlieren, sondern Abstand gewinnen, um das Ganze zu sehen. Aus der Nähe wirken die Werke abstrakt, doch mit etwas Distanz lassen sich schemenhaft figurative Formen erkennen.

Anna Lena Wirth

Hi, I’m Anna and I was born in Mönchengladbach in 1998. Creativity has played a major role in my life ever since I was a child, which is why, after completing my A-levels, I decided to study a combination of Art and German Studies, graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Painting. Whilst studying art, I focused my practical work on the genres of painting and photography, learning mainly from Katja Pfeiffer and Christoph Westermeier. To this day, the aspects of art and language remain closely intertwined in my creative processes. Language plays a particularly significant role as a source of inspiration and during the development of the concepts for my works.

My aim has always been to portray people as individuals. For many years, I painted portraits, believing that people’s faces best reflect their identities. When, whilst studying art at the University of Wuppertal, I came into contact with dementia within my personal circle and attempted to depict the process of forgetting, I reached my limits. A person’s outward appearance could not reflect their inner processes. In search of a solution to my problem, I gradually moved away from depicting faces, until I eventually omitted them entirely. Since then, my works have played with the identities and realities of the people depicted. Through a blend of figurative, realistic and abstract elements, I allow the viewer to look behind the façade of faces, into the feelings and thoughts of the figures portrayed.

My in-depth exploration of this subject matter – including in my Bachelor’s thesis in painting – continues to shape my painting style to this day and inspires me to constantly reinterpret a wide variety of themes relating to the human condition. I prefer to work in series, in which I explore individual themes in depth and interpret them in various ways.
